Own a Piece of Grandma's Dynamite Museum!
May. 27th, 2005 09:37 amThis is a little bit sad.
I am fond of hands-on science museums, in the Exploratorium style.
Back where my dad came from in Scotland, The Big Idea, which celebrated the history of invention, opened in 2000. It was on the site of Alfred Nobel's dynamite plant, where my grandmother worked.
Unfortunately, the museum failed after less than three years. Fizzled. Bombed. A dud.
Here's the good news: You can buy a bunch of slick interactive exhibits and start up your own science museum. ( See Alfred Nobel in his workshop! )
